The Council on Quality and Leadership

The Council on Quality and Leadership, an independent accreditation organization, completed an in-depth survey of Red River Human Services Foundation to determine how well we deliver services the week of October 22nd. It is very exciting to announce that the agency was awarded the highest possible accreditation, which is 4 years. This level of accreditation is extremely difficult to achieve and few organizations do.

This high achievement was accomplished thanks to our strong values and our dedication and commitment to the people we support. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done!!!

Vikings Fans Make the Trip to the Metrodome

We have had several people attend a Minnesota Vikings game this year. Earlier in the season one young man from Wahpeton spent the weekend in the twin cities; visiting the Mega Mall, spending time outside of the dome with the tailgaters and cheering on his favorite quarterback, Brett Favre as he brought his team to victory against the Minnesota Vikings. It was quite a site to see him cheering on the Packers with his Packers Jersey and his support staff cheering on the Vikings in his Vikings Jersey. They had a great time with the rivalry!

Then, on 11/4, four men (who live in Fargo) and 2 support staff attended the Vikings-Chargers game. They experienced a history making game by watching Adrian Peterson break the league rushing record with an astounding 296 yards! They also enjoyed a weekend of visiting the Mega Mall, swimming at the hotel pool and playing board games. Then enjoyed taking the lite rail downtown to the Metrodome for the game on Sunday.
